In reply to TheDrunkenBakers: Scarpa SLs 25 yrs, cost £99, and still usable when I decided to bin them. Leaked like a sieve but handled the rough hills of the Cuillin over twenty times, and were so comfy and my main boot for dry conditions. Stitching was starting to go!
More value still, a set of small screwdrivers, six in all, used as my go to set for DIY, well over 30 yrs old, and almost as good as new. Cost 99p.
As for clothes and accessories I still have some well used and functional at more than thirty yrs old!!
